5 more Community Transit workers test positive for COVID-19

EVERETT — At least nine Community Transit employees are now presumed to be positive for COVID-19.

More transit service reductions are coming in Snohomish County, as fewer people take the bus amid a coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement Wednesday, Community Transit announced five more employees, in addition to the four bus drivers who tested positive last week, likely have COVID-19. Another eight employees were awaiting test results.

The employees self-reported their positive tests, last worked between March 5 and 17 and stayed home once symptoms began. None worked the past week.
